FACTS

Maroon 5 consists of Adam Levin on vocals and guitar, James Valentine on guitar, Jesse Carmichael on keyboards, Mickey Madden on bass, and Ryan Dusick on drums.

Based in Los Angeles

It took a few years of live performances for the band to reach the mainstream music world with their single "Harder To Breathe."

Originally the band began as 'Kara's Flowers' with members Levin, Carmichael and Madden - but their debut The Fourth World failed to bring much success.

By 2001, the band renamed themselves Maroon 5 and added a few members while modifying and fine-tuning their sound to infuse R&B into their rock sound.

Maroon 5 released a collection of live and acoustic tracks - 1.22.03.Acoustic.

Maroon 5 could be heard on the soundtrack for Spider-Man 2 with "Woman."

Songs About Jane was certified gold.

Maroon 5 hit the Top 40 with "This Love."

Songs About Jane was certified platinum.
